Now, if you take a look at the map of the country, I have sort of separated it into red states, where the unemployment rate for a given state is higher than the national average, and green states, where the unemployment rate is lower than the national average. You can definitely see a pattern there. You can see that there are a whole bunch of states in the middle there with lower than normal unemployment rates.
Now, that's one piece of information. But one of the areas that we're going to see job losses in today, just like we've seen for the last several months, is losses in manufacturing jobs. For those of you who are thinking that there's going to be a manufacturing turnaround, those six states on the map, Kansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, Utah and Washington, are the only states that created manufacturing jobs in 2007. They are the only states.
Notice, none of the typical rust belt states are in there. Louisiana created manufacturing jobs still because of the remainder, the hangover from hurricanes Katrina and Rita. There's a lot of building to be done there. In other cases, it's probably industry specific, transportation or airplanes, and things like that.
Bottom line here is that manufacturing jobs are not growing in the United States. The low dollar may bring some of them back, but for those of you who are young and in the manufacturing sector or young and thinking of getting in the manufacturing sector, it's going to be a really good opportunity to think about something else. This is not a growing area in America, and I'll be giving you more detail on that later.
ROBERTS: Although I got Lakshman Achuthan who was here yesterday suggested that exports really have a potential to grow because of the low dollar, which then would trickle down.

Today we're getting the main figures for March. Job numbers we're probably expecting and a lot of jobs to be lost. Unemployment rate expected to go up to five percent. But, you know, we got to sort of put the rate aside for a second, because what we're looking for is jobs being created.
Yes. We will have some manufacturing. We're not going to get into t-shirt manufacturing and bicycle manufacturing. It might be that America can get into high-level manufacturing. Because of the wages we pay, the product that's manufactured has to be of some great value. So where you think we're getting into low level manufacturing, that's gone. We may be able to manufacture some high-tech items.
